From campaigning for a village hall, to buying a defibrillator, the King left his mark on Myddfai.
Following their meeting at the Senedd building in Cardiff Bay, the new King's obvious love of the place was written on his face as he chatted to Mrs Lewis, 62, from the neighbouring county of Powys."He said he had done a lot of the planting there . It was lovely to have a few seconds with him," Mrs Lewis added.
"It has the benefit that you can disappear there. Nobody would know he was there as you can't see it from the road." The King had pursued projects relating to Wales - ranging from conservation to architecture - at places such as the Vaynol estate, Bangor or Powis Castle, near Welshpool, with everyone else having to move out for a week while he was there.
There is no sign of Llwynywermod from the road, and while it is hardly a palace - the Victorian mansion that once dominated the site is now a ruin - it is described as a comfortable farmhouse.This is where the King would stay, on a courtyard, flanked by a barn and a couple of holiday lets, that newspaper journalists would book for a week to try to catch a glimpse of him.
"You see the clump of trees up on the hill... the path goes up that side, up to the mountain," said Emlyn Morgan, a farmer, showing where the prince liked going for a walk."I think the world of him. He has enjoyed coming here."Nobody made a fuss out of him. If he came to church on Sundays, there would be one little man [a security officer] with him."And he would then come into the cafe after the meeting to have a small cup of tea and shake hands with everyone.
